Creating a spot for 6-foot-5 receiver Terrence Toliver, the Chargers on Thursday released defensive lineman Brandon Moore, who in five days went from the 53-man roster, to the practice squad, to off the team.

Tolliver, cut by the Bears last week, joins the Chargers practice squad. Undrafted out of LSU in 2011, he's not fast (4.59, 40) and didn't make it past August with the Texans ('11) or the Lions ('12), either.

For what it's worth, undrafted tall receivers Danario Alexander (6-5) and Seyi Ajirotutu (6-3) clicked with Philip Rivers after joining the Chargers in recent year, and 6-5 starter Malcom Floyd, undrafted out of Wyoming, has caught 230 passes since Rivers became the starter in 2006.

On Monday, the Chargers added 6-2 receiver Toney Clemons to their practice squad. Last year he caught three passes with the Jaguars.

Moore, 6-5 and 317 pounds, a year ago was a college junior entering his first season with the Texas Longhorns. Undrafted after leaving school early, he said he chose the Chargers over other teams. "The opportunity to play really pushed me toward San Diego," Moore said, via the Texas website. "Looking at the depth chart and their scheme, I think I have a good chance to come in there and contribute and be successful."
